    My son and I met Tua at the weight in on thursday.
    Thats him and me in the avatar.
    Gotta say what a gentleman he was.Weightin ran late,Tua by about 20 min and Monte by about 45 min.Tua signed autographs and posed for pic's befor the weightin and afterwords he stayed until every single person who wanted to meet hin got there chance.A real class act!

    I've never followed him that closely, but based on how you describe him, he just won a fan in me.

    He must have seen all those classic Tua KOs and must have been well pleased.
    I wish him well in his endeavors!
